Putting together Third Wave Ska playlist

Res · 09-25-2014, 12:27 PM

Hey. Can anyone recommend me some third wave ska that isn't as mainstream as Streetlight Manifesto or Reel Big Fish. I wanna dig around in this sub-genre more but I don't know where to start. Mustard Plug isn't bad either. Any albums you suggest?

How about some Flaming Tsunamis?

They are without a doubt different then most ska I've heard before. Very hardcore punk orientated ska. Raw screams followed up by jazzy horns is a pretty cool collab. Thanks. Also just found out about The Arrogant Sons of Bitches. They are pretty good as well

Killer stuff! The vocals are a bit harsh, but that friggin band behind it is tight.

I love Mustard Plug.

Check out: Skankin' Pickle, The Pietasters, Slapstick, MU330, The Skoidats, The Scofflaws, Kemuri (Japanese band)

Maybe a bit too "big", but The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are awesome too. And Goldfinger, though they lean a bit more towards punk, but their "Hangups" album has got a lot of horns and ska throughout.

Flaming Tsunamis are quality.

Try:

The Toasters
The Japonicas
Tokyo Ska Jazz Ensemble
Adequate Seven
Pama International

Great tune:

After seeing this post I went and listened to my old MU330 stuff, mustard plug, etc. It really takes me back! Still love it. Great thread!

And I second The Toasters as well.

The Aquabat's early stuff (The Return of the Aquabats, Fury of the Aquabats, The Aquabats vs The Floating Eye of Death! and Myths, Legends and other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 2)

Be Like Max (A little curse-ridden, but still good Ska Punk imo. Kind of pop-punky in terms of guitar tones, but I'd still give it a chance)

The Holophonics (They've done a lot of covers of mainstream pop tunes which are quite nice if you'd like to start there.)

Demon Waffle

Skankin' Pickle (already recommended but really listen to them if you haven't)

[spunge]

Stacked Like Pancakes (Haven't listened to them yet, but recommending them anyways)

Five Iron Frenzy (Good Christian Ska)

If I think of anymore I'll be sure to pass them on. :v)

Goldfinger is pretty great, lots of people into Less than Jake, not my jam tough, I like my ska funky like Sublime XD
